Hey Dave thanks
I am doing it for learning purposes so don't worry about security it
isn't really an issue. My aim is to retrieve all the URL in the
browser's history that are not Google queries (via Mozilla Places) and
index them. I Would like to automate this process, that is why i would
like to be able to use Swish-e from python. At the moment i have
retrieved the URLs i need now it is just a matter of indexing them (you
could say i need a crawler along with my indexer but i don't need any
spidering i just need to index that html page)
I have installed swish-e 2.4.7 using the windows installer but it now
seems that i need to install it from source.
I really appreciate the help and will follow the guide you provided and
get back to you, if you are aware of any tool that will be more suited
to my needs then don't hesitate to get back to me
